First Christmas Cookies

03Dec

These are my first christmas cookies of the season! Alton Brown’s sugar cookies. They are actually very very delicious. Probably the best sugar cookies I have ever made. I didn’t make his royal icing but I had Pillsbury vanilla frosting in the spray can that I used for decorating plus a bunch of different colored sprinkles. Enjoy!

Directions:
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
